Is this a "likely" e-mail?

I received this e-mail yesterday and am wondering if everyone got it or whether it says something "more." (RD, decision scheduled for January 30.)

Dear XXXXX,

Thank you for your interest in North Carolina State University. I am pleased that you have completed your application for undergraduate admission. I want to take this opportunity to wish you well as you make a decision on the best place for your college experience. As you consider your options, I encourage you to discover why so many students have chosen to attend North Carolina State.

NC State has much to offer outstanding students such as yourself, including extensive study abroad experiences, the University Honors Program, the University Scholars Program, undergraduate research options, service learning opportunities, a supportive faculty, friendly students and outstanding alumni. These supplemental activities work in conjunction with our outstanding academic programs to create a college experience that is challenging and richly rewarding.

I extend a special invitation to you and your family to find out more about these and the many other opportunities NC State has to offer by exploring our website and by visiting our campus if you have not already done so. We offer walking campus tours Monday through Friday of each week. Please visit our website for more details, including information on how to register.

Once again I am pleased that you have chosen to apply to NC State. We look forward to providing you with a formal response to your application soon. In the meantime, best wishes on a successful senior year.

Most sincerely,

Thomas H. Griffin
Director
Office of Undergraduate Admissions
North Carolina State University

Doubtful a likely message

I got the same email. Doesn't sound to me like it's anything more than an acknowledgement that the app is being reviewed.

I've heard some say it is, while some say don't look too much into it.

when I applied (accepted last yr) I never got one, but ive heard of some people saying that they soon got accepted after receiving a letter like that. Are you in or out of state, maybe it has somehting to do with being out of state by chance? Anyway, good luck.

There's Potential.

When I applied last yr., I got one and i got in! So possibly it is. I didn't do anything especially amazing in hs to deserve a "likely letter." But I never really looked at it that much after i read it but I definitely remember that i got a letter like that.

I'm on the fence about this message. I'll call it a semi-likely.
